PREFACE. 


j:j lfty y ears a o° Europe had but one Zoological Garden, the 
^ “Jardin des Plantes” in Paris, Prance. In 1S29 the second 
institution of the kind was established in London, which 
can now be regarded as the model Zoological Garden, at least 
so far as the variety and value of its animals are concerned, 
lo-day we find Gardens in almost every important City in the 
Old World. At present there are but two Zoological Gardens 
in the United States, one at Philadelphia and the Cincinnati 
Garden. St. Louis will soon have its Zoo-Zoo and before many 
years have passed other Cities will undoubtedly move in the same 
direction. The aim of all Zoological Gardens, is in the first place 
Education; in the second, Recreation and Amusement, and the 
Cincinnati Garden makes no exception to this rule. The Zoological 
Society of Cincinnati, to which alone the Garden owes its 
existence, was organized in 1873 and is the direct outgrowth of 
the Acclimatization Society. In the early part of 1S73, Mr. 
Andrew Erkenbrecher, then President of the last named organi¬ 
zation directed the Secretary of that body to correspond with the 
celebrated Naturalist, Dr. A. E. Brehm, with a view of obtaining 
an estimate of the probable cost of a Zoological Garden established 
upon European Models, requesting statistics in regard to those 
already established in Europe, and all other available information 
pertinent to the subject. 



6 


The reply of the distinguished scientist, containing many 
valuable suggestions, and accompanied by the annual reports and 
statements of several European societies, was laid before a meeting 
of the Acclimatization Society, held at the rooms of the Cincinnati 
Board of Trade, June 19th, 1873. At this meeting, a resolution, 
offered by Mr. John Simpkinson, was adopted, providing for a 
committee charged with the duty of digesting a plan of operations 
The committee, consisting of Messrs. Andrew Erkenbrecher, John 
Simpkinson, and George H. Knight, subsequently called a meeting 
of citizens understood to be favorable to the proposed enterprise, 
for Monday, June 30th, 1873, at which Dr. Lilienthal, Mr. Simp¬ 
kinson, and others, delivered spirited addresses, a large sum of 
money was subscribed, and resolutions were adopted providing 
for the incorporation of a Society whose capital stock should be 
$300,000. In conformity with this action, Messrs. Simpkinson, 
Erkenbrecher, C. Oskamp, Knight and A. Tenner, subscribed 
articles of incorporation under the name of the “Zoological Society 
of Cincinnati,” which were duly filed and recorded, according to 
law, on the 11th day of July, 1873. The first meeting of the newly 
formed Society, was held at the Board of Trade rooms, on July 
28th, and the following named gentlemen elected Directors to 
manage its affairs, viz: Joseph Longworth, J. Simpkinson, A. 
Erkenbrecher, A. Pfirmann, John A. Mohlenhoff, Charles P. Taft, 
John Sliillito, George K. Schoenberger and Julius Dexter. The 
Board of Directors thus constituted, immediately organized and 
elected the following named officers, viz: Joseph Longworth, 
President; John Simpkinson, Vice-President; Clemens Oskamp, 
Treasurer; Charles P. Taft, Recording Secretary; and Armin’ 
Tenner, Corresponding Secretary. 

From the Constitution as adopted at the first meeting of Stock¬ 
holders, we quote the following extracts: 

“Sec. I. The name of the Society shall be “Zoological Society 
of Cincinnati.” 

‘Sec. II. The capital stock of the Society shall be three 
Hundred thousand dollars, divided into six thousand shares, of fifty 


7 


dollars each, transferable only on the books of the Society upon 
the surrender of the certificate.” 

Si’.c. III. The object of the Soeiety shall be the establishment 
and maintenance of a Zoological Garden at Cincinnati, and the 
study and dissemination of a knowledge of the nature and habits 
of the creatures of the animal kingdom.” 

“Sec. XVI. Stockholders shall be entitled to receive for each 
share of stock up to the number of five, twenty single tickets of 
admission each year, or one season ticket. All season tickets shall 
be issued in the name of a particular person, which shall be re¬ 
gistered, and any season ticket presented by any other person than 
the one to whom it is issued shall be forfeited. The name on any 
season ticket may be changed at the option of the holder, upon sur¬ 
render of the ticket, and a new season ticket will be issued in 
the substituted name, which shall be good for the balance of the 
year.” 

As will be seen from the foregoing summary of its history 
and organization, the Zoological Society is a strictly private 
enterprise, not in any way dependent upon municipal aid for its 
existence or maintenance. At present the Society consists of over 
four hundred members, representing a subscribed Capital of 
about $160,000. 

The grounds upon which the Garden has been established were 
secured from Messrs Winslow & Wilshire on perpetual lease, at 
the rate of $7,500 per annum, with privilege of purchase at the 
rate of $2,000 per acre. 

Ground was first broken in October 1874, but the work on the 
larger Shelter-houses did not commence until May 1875. On the 
18th of September of the same year the Garden w*as opened to the 
Public, and since that the Society has been constantly adding to the 
collection of animals, and expending large sums for improving and 
beautifying the grounds. 

It is but an act of Justice that we should state that the success 
with , which this enterprise has thus far been crowned, is chiefly 
due to the extraordinary labor of Mr. Andrew Erkenbrccher, who 


8 


properly may be named the founder of the Garden, who however 
was ably assisted in his efforts by such gentlemen as Messrs. John 
Simpkinson, Julius Dexter, Florence Marmet, Geo. A. Smith, 
Clemens Oskamp and others. 

The approaches to the Garden up to the present time (June ’76) 
were not good, but before this is published two lines of Street Cars 
- the Mt. Auburn and the Clifton Inclined Plane Kail Roads - 
will run within a few squares of the Garden-Entrance. 

The first Landscape-Gardener employed by the Society was 
Mr. Theodor Findeisen; Dr. H. Dorner was Superintendent from 
May 1st ’75 until May 1st ’76; the plans for the various Shelter- 
Houses were drawn by Mr. James W. McLaughlin, Architect. The 
undersigned had the honor to serve the Society as their Corres- 
P g Secretary, General Agent and temporary Superintendent 
up to the 10th of June 1876 when he resigned his positions 

The present Board of Directors consists of Messrs. Julius 
exter, President; Geo. A. Smith, Vice-President; Andrew 
Er brecher, Treasurer 1 Florence Marmet, John Simpkinson, 
emens Oskamp, Fred. Hassaureck, Charles P. Taft, and O. Laist. 
Mr. L. J. Cist fills the position of Recording Secretary. 


ARMIN TENNER. 


M fter entering the Garden at the present Entrance on Dexter 
H Avenue, the Visitor should take the road to the left, follow 
the same about 60 yards, until he arrives at a smaller road to his 
right, which brings him to 

No. 1. — Spvinglioase, 

built of undressed river stone and mounted by a statue represent- 
ing Bacchus, the God of Wine, pointing to the inscription, 
borrowed from the Frankfort Garden, beneath: 

“Blessed to all the drink shall be — 

For you the Water , Wine for me 

Here the Visitor can, if thirsty, refresh himself with a drink 
of pure spring water, and if he will then trust his steps to this 
Guide and follow the numbers in rotation, he will be enabled to 
find all objects of interest in the Garden, without being compelled 
to pass the same point more than once. 

After ascending a few stone steps, we cross an open space to 
our right to 


No, 2 . — Buffalo Inclosure 9 

inhabited, at present by a female Water Buffalo (Bos bubalus). 
.The Buffalo is a native of India, from whence he was introduced 
into Southern Europe. His natural favorite resorts are wet and 
marshy localities, hence the name Water Buffalo, It is a very fierce 
animal, savage to a marvellous degree and always prepared to attack 
any animal that may arouse its ready ire. On several occasions 
this Buffalo charged the African Elephant at the Garden and 
sucoeeded in scaring the latter to such an extent, that his screams 
attracted the Keeper’s attention, who found it advisable to separate 
the two animals more for the Elephant’s than for the Buffalo's 
Safety. Years ago the Water or Common Buffalo was used in India 
to fight against the Tiger and as a rule, the former left the battle 
field victorious. 

Opposite the Buffalo inclosure is 


JVo. 3. — Buffalo House , 

the home of three young American Bisons (Bison americanus ); the 
two larger animals are females, the smaller one a male The Bison 
Alls the place in America that the Wisent does in the Old World, 
and like this animal is becoming extinct, though thousands of them 
still inhabit the great prairies of the far West. The destruction of 
this animal keeps pace with the march of civilization westward. 
Besides these Bison the Buffalo House contains an African 
Elephant (Elephas Africans) the property of Mr. George Weber. 

The Elephant belongs to the family of Pachydermataor thick- 
skinned animals, which includes the Elephant, Tapir, Swine 
Hyrax, Rhinoceros and Hippopotamus. There are two species of 
Elephants, the one inhabiting Asia, the other Africa. The African 
and Asiatic Elephants can easily be distinguished from each other 
by the dimensions of the head and the size of the ear. The Asiatic 
Elephant’s head is elongated, the forehead concave, and the ears 
of ordinary size, while the African Elephants head is much shor¬ 
ter, the forehead convex, and the ears of enormous magnitude. 

From this point a narrow stoneway leads up to one of the 
Main Avenues. Following it to the right we next arrive at 


Ho. 4, — Bony Inclosure 9 

containing nine Shetland Ponies placed on Exhibition by Mr 
John Robinson, of great interest to boy visitors. The ori«-inal 
home of these animals is said to have been the western part of 
Africa, thence they were taken to the Shetland Islands A few 
steps along the Avenue to the right, and If the weather is fine, the 
Visitor will catch sight of a busy scene. 

No * — Prairie Boy Village , 

About forty of these busy little creatures, a large number of 
whom are young, born in the Garden, have their home here. Their 
short tails are continuously kept in motion, except when eating 
w 11 ch they do in a sitting posture like the squirrel. When the 
little animals are frightened they give out a sharp yelping sound 
lescmbling the bark of a small dog and disappear in their burrows 
i ve a flash. Although, they occupy their village in common they 
never, no matter how great the confusion, mistake the dwellings 
of others for their own. ® 

The Prairie Dog (Arctomys marmotta ) makes its burrows at an 
angle of 40 degrees and after being sunk for some little distance 


11 


runs them horizontally, sometimes rising towards the surface of 
the ground. 

On the western prairies, the prairie dog Villages are quiet 
numerous, sometimes covering acres of Land. It is well known 
that their burrows are not only inhabited by the legitimate owners 
and excavators, but are shared by the burrowing Owl (Athene 
Cunicularia) and the Rattle-snake. The Rattle-snake, however, is 
a most unwelcome intruder upon the Marmot, while the Owl and 
the Prairie Dog live harmoniously together. 

No. G. — Minor Ccinivora. 

Ilere are represented the Arctic Fox, the Kit Fox, the Grey 
Fox, Wolf, Jackal and Red Fox. 

The Arctic Fox ( Canis lagopus) is found in the Polar Regions 
and in the colder sections south of the Arctic Circle. This species 
of the fox family is remarkable for its small size, short legs and 
for its thick and felt-like fur. 

The Kit Fox ( Canis Velox ) is even smaller than the Arctic 
Fox, but its appearance is much more pleasing. This animal is 
found in the western part of the United States where it is generally 
known by the name of swift fox. The one at the Garden*is a do¬ 
nation from Mr. H. R. A. Pundt, Omaha, Nebr. 

The Grey Fox ( Canis Virginianus) larger than the Kit Fox, 
selects hollow trees for its places of abode and does not burrow! 
The Grey Fox is common in the southern and south western States 
where it commits excessive depredations on the poultry of the 
farmer. 

The American Wolf ( Canis occidentalis) occupies the centre 
cage of the small Carnivora. The Wolf inhabits a large portion of 
North America. When caught young, Wolves can often be tamed, 
but they always retain their treacherous nature The next cao-e 
contains two Jackals, representing two distinct species. — The 
common Jackal {Canis aureus) and the black-backed Jackal {Canis 
mesomelas). Both animals are natives of Africa and in their hab¬ 
its and generalappearance have much in common with the Foxes. 
The two at the Garden were presented by Mr. W. M. Pfau, Hamil¬ 
ton, O. 

In the next cage are a number of Red Foxes {Canis fulvus). 
This species is characterized by its sharp muzzle and long bushy 
tail, as well as its cunning dispositions. Among the most common 
of its expedients for escape, is feigning death. 


12 


Passing a large Bird Cage, presented by Mr. A. Erkenbrecher, 
on the left side of the Avenue, containing a pair of each of the 
singing trush ( Turdus musicus ), European Black-bird ( Turdus me- 
rula) and American Robin ( Turdus migrotorius ), our attention is 
drawn to 

ffio* 7. — Tapir Inclosure . 

which is situated under a Group of large shade trees with a Basin 
m the centre, enabling the animal to indulge in its aquatic habits. 

The Tapir (Tapir americanus) belongs to the Genus in which 
may be found one of the links which unite the Elephant to the 
Swine and Rhinoceros. 

The American Tapir is a native of tropical America, where it 
inhabits the densely wooded regions along the river banks. It is 
an expert swimmer and can dive with ease. 

8 * — Squirrel Souse . 

Here are represented the White Ground Squirrel (Tamias Lys- 

ten var alba), the Albino Squirrel ( Sciurus Cinereus var alba) the 
Grey Squirrel ( Sciurus cinerus), the Fox Squirrel ( Sciurus Mger) 
the flying Squirrel ( Sciuropterus Volucella), all natives of North 
America. The next point of interest is 


2Vo. 0. — Eagle Souse. 

which is occupied by several speciesof birds of prey, with a number 
of small animals in Cages between the different families of birds. 

The Snowy Owl ( Mjctea Mvea) is in the habit of hunting its 
prey during the day. Its eyes seem to endure the glare of dav- 
light much better than other Owls. The snowy Owl is one of the 
handsomest species of Owls, on account of the beautiful white man¬ 
tel with which it is clothed, and the large yellow eyeballs that or¬ 
nament its head. This bird is a native of Northern Europe and 
America. 

The adjoining Cage is inhabited by a Viverrine Cat (Fells 
Fwemna) a native of India, which has some resemblance to our 
Wild Cafe but its tail is longer and the color of its fur darker. 

The Centre Cage affords quarters for two Griffon Vultures 
(Vultur fulves), four Golden Eagles, ( Aquila Chryaetus), one grown 
and two young Bald Eagles (Aquila leucocephalus), 

The Griffon Vulture is a bird of enormous size, the expanse 
of its wings being about 9 feet. This bird is found in the greatest 
numbeis in Africa, but inhabits likewise some parts of Europe. 


13 


The Golden Eagle is one of the finest birds of the family to 
which it belongs, and is spread over a large portion of the world 
inhabiting various parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and America. 
I he color of the bird is a blackish brown, with rich golden-red 
feathers around the head and neck. Eagles are all monogamous, 
restricting themselves to a single mate throughout their lives. 

The Bald Eagle or white-headed Sea Eagle is the adopted Emb¬ 
lem of the United States of America. Wilson speaks of it : 

“Formed by nature for braving the severest cold, feeding 
equally on the produce of the sea and of the land; possessing pow- 
ers of flight, capable of outstripping even the tempests themselves; 
unawed by everything but man : and, from the eternal heights to 
which he soars, looking abroad at one glance, on an immeasurable 
expanse of forests, fields, lakes, and ocean deep below him, he ap¬ 
pears indifferent to the little localities of change of the season, as 
in a few minutes he can pass from summer to winter, from the 



Virginia Eagle or great horned Owl (Bubo Virginianus). 

lower to the higher regions of the atmosphere, the abode of eternal 
cold, and thence descend at will to the torrid or arctic regions of the 
earth.” 

The Bateleur Eagle (Helotarsus ecaudatus ), an African bird with 
brilliant colored legs and cere; a plumage showing an alternation 
of chestnut, grey and black, differs widely from his relatives even 
if the excessive shortness of his tail did not give it the appearance 
of being absolutely without that important member. 

On the other (northern) side of the Eagle house are exhibited : 

The Virginia Eagle or horned Owl (Bubo Virginianus ), a native 
of North America remarkable for two tufts of feathers projecting 
from his head like ears. 

The Barred Owl (Syrnium nebulosum ) smaller in size than either 
the snowy or great horned Owl, lives principally on mice and frogs, 


14 


and prefers ^16 woods to the open country. Its European relative 
is the Rough-legged Owl (. Nyctale dasypus ). 

The last Cage is occupied by three american Buzzards com¬ 
monly called Hawks, representingtheCommonBuzzard or red-tailed 
Hawk (Buteo borealis) and the Bed-Shouldered Buzzard (Buteo linea- 
tu s ). Leaving the Eagle house we direct our steps in the opposite 
direction from where we approached it, and follow a small road in a 
straight line,pass the Pony Inclosure to our left, and thus come 
again on the same Avenue which brought us to the last four points 
now turn to the right, and a short walk brings us to, 

10 * — Virginia Deer Inclosure, 

The Virginia Deer ( Cervus Virginianus), is here represented by 
a number of these animals. The handsomest Buck among the 
collection and two Does, were donated by W. S. Munson Eso 
Cincinnati, O. 

The Mule Deer (Cervus magrotis), an animal remarkable for its 
long ears. 

The White-tailed Deer ( Cervus leucurus) differing but slightlv 
from the common Virginia Deer. ® ^ 

North America is the home of the Virginia and the Far West 
of the white-tailed and the Mule Deer. 

A short distance from the Virginia deer inclosure on the right 
hand side of the avenue, we come to 

JS r o. II — Inclosure for miscellaneous animals . 

Passing the Cages, from one end to the other, we find: 

Thennfr T ° Wn l e K d 0r M ° mitain Hare ( Le P™ Townsendii). 

The pair on exhibition are young and will be much larger when 

ull grown. The Townsend Hare strongly resembles the “Texas 
Hare commonly called “Jack Babbit” on account of its lono- ears 
The western States and especially the Kocky Mountains are the 
home of the Townsend hare. 

The African or crested Porcupine (Histrix cristala) attracts the 

which tlm l T ^ HS eXtra ° rdina ^ of pointed spelts 

ite foes VCr n0t ' aS formerl L believed, launch at 

Like the Prairie dog and other rodent animals the Porcupine 
reqmres „o water. Its thirst is quenched by the eating of rootl 
and plants in its natural state as well as in captivity. 

,, . T1 i? W *“ bat < - Fhascolom ’J s lati/rons), likewise called the 
Australian Badger, ls nocturnal in its habits living during the day 


in its tunnel. The movements of this animal are slow, owing to 
Its heavy body and short legs. 

The Raccoon (Procyon lotor). Five of these cunning amusing 
animals are quartered in the centre inclosure. A large locust tree 
affords them a rare opportunity of practicing their favorite exer¬ 
cises—climbing. Few animals in the Garden are so lucky as this 

amily of coons, to be provided with quarters so well adapted to 
their natural habits. 


The American Porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum), a native of 
North America. This animal is not so well defended with spines 
as its african relative, its body being covered with long coarse 
hair. Head and tail, especially the latter, are covered with short 
pointed quills. The American Porcupine makes its meals out of 
the bark of living trees doing great damage to the forests in which 
it lives. 



Griffon Vulture (Vultur fulvus). 


The American Badger (Meles labradorica ), is found in the 
western portion of the United States. The color of the animal is 
grey, its tail bushy and the fur soft. A white stripe runs from the 
head to the muzzle. With its powerful claws the badger makes its 
own burrows, and, unless the floor of its quarters is either ce¬ 
mented, or lined with Stone, Zinc or Iron, it soon will effect its 
escape by burrowing out. 

Nearly opposite to this place is 

iVo. 12, — Wapiti Inclosure . 

The Wapiti or American Elk {Cervus Canadensis) is one of the 
largest species of the deer tribe. It is found in Canada and the 
north-western part of the United States. When excited the Wapiti 
gives a peculiar loud whistling sound. The largest of the males 


16 


in the Garden, when doing this, raises his head, and seems to eject 
the cry by a kind of spasmodic jerk. 

We return to the main avenue and continue our journey to a 
point on the right, where a small road invites us to proceed to 


J¥o. 13. — Large Lake, 

appropriated to a number of aquatic fowls among which we 
mention: 

The black Swan ( Cygnus atratu's) of Australia, beautiful in 
plumage and graceful in appearance. These birds were donated by 
Mr. John Anderegg of Cincinnati, O. 

The Trumpeter Swan ( Cygnus buccinator ), a native of North 
America and a gift of Mr. George Fisher of this city. 

The mute Swan ( Cygnus olor), of Europe, one of the hand¬ 
somest of the Swan species, presented by Mr. Adolf Straueli 
Spring Grove, O. 

The Canada wild Goose (Anser Canadensis), which migrates 
northward in spring and returns in autumn, during both of which 
journeys they attract great attention by the particular manner in 
which their flocks are formed and by their loud cries. 

The Muscovy Duck ( Cairina Mosliata) of South America. 

The brown Pelican ( Pelecanus fuscus), an inhabitant of the 
southern portion of the United States and South America. 

The Coot ( Fulica Americana) likewise known by the common 
name of American Water hen. 

The Chinese Goose ( Anser Cygnoides var.alba), forming to some 
extent the connecting link between the goose and the swan. The 
native country of this waterfowl is Asia. 

The Sandhill Crane ( Grus Canadensis), of North America. The 
color of this bird is dark grey. Above the bill it has a red mark 
and the wing feathers are brown. 

Following the road by a large beach tree surrounded by a rustic 
bench, and descending a hillock, we again find ourselves on the 
main avenue, from which we parted at the Eagle house Just 

opposite the point, where the small road intersects the avenue, we 
annroach ? ’ 


JSTo, 14. — Goat Inclosure. 

The Cashmere Goat (Hircus lamger), is possessed of a soft 
silky hair, which furnishes material for the rich and valuable 
fabrics so highly appreciated in all civilized countries. After 
crossing a rustic bridge, the next point of interest on the right 
hand side of the avenue is 


17 — 


No. 15. — Beaver Basin. 

The American Beaver (Castor fiber) t can properly be regarded 
as one of the most interesting animals. Its architectural skill is 
really astonishing. The animal performs the work of the carpen¬ 
ter and the plasterer with like perfection. 

It is an erroneous belief, that the beaver uses its flat tail as a 
tiowel in building its dams, lodges and burrows, it only serves the 
animal as a rudder in transporting building material on the bottom 
of the water. Only its hind-feet are webfooted, and they alone are 
used by the animal when swimming. The beaver lives chiefly on 
the bark of the yellow birch, willows and other soft trees and does 
not eat flsh. 



RESTAURANT. 


Should the visitor hy this time feel the necessity of taking a 
rest, or be hungry or thirsty, he can, by walking across the avenue, 
enter the splendid new Restaurant at the Garden, which contains 
in addition to a large hall, a Ladies Dining Room and private 
apartments. Its proprietor is Mr. Theodore Thauwald, who like¬ 
wise has charge of the old restaurant building, now used, for the 
sale of Soda Water, Ice Cream, Cakes &c The bill of fare com¬ 
prises all delicacies of the season and the refreshments served at 
moderate charges, are of superior quality. 



















To reach 


J¥o. 16. — Hear Hits, 

the visitor can either take a small road running from the rear 
of the restaurant to this point or continue his perambulations on 
the main avenue, past the Otter cage, at present unoccupied, and 
approach the pits from below. Here first of all, a pair of specimens 
ot Grizzly Bears (Ursus ferox), presented by Mr. Julius J. Bantlin, 
Cincinnati, natives of the Rocky Mountains, attract attention. It 
was not inappropriate, that the language of science has applied the 
name ferox to this Bear, for it is certainly one of the most blood- 
tbiisty beasts of its kind. The male Bear has already gi?en evi¬ 
dence in the Garden, that it is not advisable to approach too near 
him, by so shockingly tearing the arm of an overbold visitor who, 
despite the warnings of the keeper, persisted in inserting it between 
the bars, that it had to be amputated on the same day.

Annie banborn, Cincinnati, and two by Mr. Thomas Hartshorn. • 

v\ e cross another rustic bridge, ascend a slight elevation and 
arrive at 


JVo. 17. — Ostrich House 4 

Here are quartered 

The African Ostrich (Struiheo Camelus ), the largest bird in 
existence. The larger portion of the male’s body is dark, wing and 
tail feathers white. Africa is its home, where, except during 
the pairing season, they are found in large flocks. There are but 
two instances on record where young birds of this species have 
been reared in captivity; at St. Donato and Marseilles. 



BEAR PITS. 


The Emu (Dromaeus Novae Hollancliae ), is a native of New 
Holland from where it is frequently brought to Europe and 
America. The most singular feature connected with the reproduc¬ 
tion of this bird is, that the whole duties of incubation, as well as 
the cafe of the young bird after being hatched, devolves upon the 
male. 

The Common Cassowary (Casuarius galeatus ), from Ceram is one 
of the most graceful birds of the Ostrich family. Its plumage is a 
dark brown, the face greenish blue, the hinder part of the head 
green, the front part of the neck violet, sides blue, the rear scarlet 
red, bill black, feet greyish yellow. The Cassowaries often rnani- 




































fest a great desire of quarreling with each other, even those of 
different sexes. The two on exhibition at the Garden are young 
birds, and are a gift of Messrs. C. Windisch, Muehlhaeuser & Bro., 
Cincinnati. 

The next compartment is devoted to several species of Kanga¬ 
roos. 

There are large number of Kangaroo species found spread over 
their native country (Australia).. The Kangaroo belongs to the 
“ Marsupialia” or pouched animals. The lower part of the female’s 
abdomen is furnished with a pouch, which in its interior contains 
the mammae or teats. The young are born in an exceedingly 
minute state, and are at once transferred by the mother into the 
pouch, where they will attach themselves instinctively to the teats 
and hang there, until they have attained considerable dimensions. 
The Kangaroos unquestionably represent one of the most interest¬ 
ing species of mammals. 



The Great Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus). 


In fact everything connected with the animal is remarkable; 
its movements, and its mode of resting, its reproduction, its 
developement and its habits. In moving the animal puts its fore¬ 
paws down, and then shoves its hind legs past the former, its heavy 
tail serving as a sort of support. The Kangaroos at the Garden 
represent: 

The Great Kangaroo ( Macropus giganteus ), now becoming quite 
scarce in its native country, New South Wales. 

The Bennett’s Kangaroo ( Halmaturus Benettii ), the most abun¬ 
dant species in Tasmania, extremely hardy and easih" kept in 
captiv'ty. 

The red-necked Kangaroo ( Halmaturus ruficollis ), breeds, like 
the Bennett Kangaroo, freely in captivity. 

The thatched log- house on the other side of the Avenue is 


21 


No. 18 • — Deer House • 

with the following quadrupeds as its occupants: 

The Lama (Auchenia Lama). The Lama and their allies—the 
Alapacaand Guanaco—represent the Camels in the new world, and 
are found on the Andes of Peru and Chili. Their wool is valuable 
as an article for manufacture In its native country it is used as a 
beast of burden, carrying a load of about one hundred pounds and 
traveling fourteen or fiften miles per diem. This animal appears 
in variegated colors, of which the four at the Garden give sufficient 
proof. 

The White Fallow Deer (Cervus Lama var alba), an animal of 
about the same size as our Virginia Deer. Its skin furnishes a 
valuable leather, its meat the best venison. Southern Europe may 
be considered its native country. 

The Bactrian Camel ( Camelus bactrianus), is easily distinguished 



One-humped Camel or Dromedary (Camelus dromedarius.) 


from the common Camel or Dromedary ( Camelus Dromedarius ), by 
its two humps, the latter possessing but one of these curious ap¬ 
pendages. 

The Bactrian Camel inhabits Asia, the one-humped Camel or 
Dromedary, Africa. The Camel is employed to carry heavy loads 
on its back over the parched sand plains of its native land, for 
which the feet of the animal are well adapted. The toes are very 
broad and soft enabling it to maintain a firm hold upon the sandy 
soil. The Camel milk is said to be sweet and strong; the natives 
mix it with meal, and consider it a delicious dish. The hair of 
the animal is employed for the manufacture of different articles. 
The young Camel at the Garden was born here last spring. 

The Red Deer or Stag ( Cervus elaphus ), inhabits Europe and 
Asia. It is one of the most graceful species of the deer tribe. Its 
speed is proverbial. The color of the Red Deer varies according to 



22 


the time of the year, the same as the color of the Virginia Deer. 
The last compartment contains two grown and a young Fallow 
Deer ( Cervus dama) differing in color from the same species of Deer 
already mentioned. The color of the buck is a redish-brown, 
spotted with white, while that of the two does is of a deep blackish 
brown. The palmated horns only ornament this animal after it 
has attained a certain age. The horns of the young differ but 
slightly from the horns of the Virginia Deer. 

The Restaurant building to our left, we cross an open space, 
pass the Orchestra stand to our right and follow the main avenue to 
which we come, a short distance in a south-southwesterly direction, 
and now arrive at a massive octagon building. 

No. 19. — Monkey House . 

The occupants of this house belong to the order of Quadruma- 
nous, or four handed animals. The monkeys are divided into two 
great groups; the monkeys of the old and the monkeys of the new 
world. The monkeys of the old world ( Catarrhini ) inhabit Africa, 
India, Japan, China, Ceylon and the islands of the Indian Archi¬ 
pelago. The monkeys of the new world (Flatyrrhini) are confined 
to the warmer portions of South America. 

The first group are characterized by nostrils which converge 
at the lower extremity, and are there only separated by a narrow 
cartilage. They possess eight incisor teeth, four canines, and 
twenty molars. The second group are characterized by nostrils 
which open in a direction parallel to each other, separated by a 
cartilage as wide at the base as at the upper extremity. We enter 
the house on the east side and turn to our left. 

The first cage is occupied by 

The Roseate Cockatoo ( Cocatua roseicapilla). This bird never 
fails to attract attention by its beautiful plumage, consisting 
of a pale purple red in the lower body and neck, and a dark gray 
on the back. It is a native of Australia. 

The most agile of all the species of monkeys quartered in the 
different cages here is 

The Drill ( Cynoceplialus leucophaeus ), allied to the mandrill, but 
with a much brighter face and of a uniform dark color. 

The next cage contains a number of various species of monkeys, 
which can be almost constantly seen either climbing the ladder, 
swinging themselves on the trapeze or performing other acrobatic 
tricks. The monkeys in this cage are: 

a) The Anubis Baboon ( Cynocephalus Anubis), one of the finest 


23 


and largest of the tailed Baboons, particularly distinguished by its 
prominent nose and long narrow face. Lives in Africa. 

b) The Rhesus Monkey ( Macacus Crythraeus) and the Common 
Macaque (Mac. cynomolgus) . The Macaques inhabit southeastern 
Asia, Ceylon and India. The Common Macaque is found in Suma¬ 
tra, 1 imor, Java and Borneo. One of the finest species of monkies 
in the entire collection occupies the adjoining cage, it is 

The Mona Monkey ( Cercopithecus mona ), a native of western 
Africa. The back and sides oi this animal have a chestnut color, 



MONKEY HOUSE. 


the face is white and the color of the head a yellowish green. It 
is the only full grown Monkey at the Garden. 

The Bonnet Monkey (Macacus sinicus ) has long black hair on 
the top of its head resembling a cap. 

The Weeper Capuchin (Cebus capucinus ), a native of Brazil re¬ 
presents the Macaque in the new world. The one here is a very 
tame animal and likes to be played with. 

The Pale Capuchin ( Flavescens ), differs from the preceedingby 
the white hair covering its head and its pale face. Both of these 
animals were presented by Mr. Casper Gams, Cincinnati. 

The next cage contains a pair of nearly full grown Anubis 
Baboons, the two largest monkeys in the collection; a gift of Mr. 
Carl Hagen beck, Hamburg, Germany. 



















24 


The Mandrill ( Cynocephalus Mormon), an animal which has the 
colors of the rainbow emblazoned on its body, but always at such 
spots, where they are least expected. Its face is blue, lined with 
brilliant scarlet and deep purple. The one here is not full grown 
and the colors do not appear so marked as we find them on older 
animals of its species. Its home is West Africa 


The (xuinea Baboon ( Cynocephalus Sphinx ), is one of the hand¬ 
somest of Baboons. The face is olive black, the color of the body 
light brown. It comes from Africa.. 

The yellow Baboon ( Cynocephalus Babum), of a yellow color, 
with a tinge of green, attains a very large size, when full grown. 

The dog-faced Baboon ( Cynocephalus hamadryas ), is found in 
large numbers in the Arabian mountains, 8000 feet above the level 
of the sea. The male, when full grown, measures in a standing 
position four feet. A part of its head and breast is covered with 
long hair resembling a mane. 

The remainder of the cages afford at present, quarters for two 
species of cockatoos and one species of Parakeets. 


The Sulper-crested Cockatoo ( Cacatua galerito ), an inhabitant 
of Australia, has a crest of bright yellow feathers, which when 
erect, have the appearance of a double fan. 

The slender-billed Cockatoo ( Cacatua Nasica ), of Australia^ 
I he color of the plumage of this bird is white, the head above the 
ill, on both sides and around the eyes, scarlet red; bill grevish 
white; feet ashy grey.. s * 

The Yaza Parakeet ( Psittacus vazd), is nearly of a uniform 
. rowillsh "black color. The bill of the young bird is black, chang¬ 
ing ultimately into white. Madagascar is its home 

We leave the monkey house through the door on the west side 
and direct our steps to 


No. 20. — The Aviaries, 

composed of seven houses, built in oriental style, and connected by 
large summer cages. Commencing our tour of inspection at the 

mT " e ” the Wapiti Inclo9uro and only a short distance from the 
Monkey House. Their occupants will present themselves in the 
following order:

iVo* 21. — The Carnivora. 

The Lion (Felis Leo), is represented by four full grown and 
three young. In color the lions vary from a deep red chestnut 
brown to grey, so silvery as to have created the believe, that South 
America was inhabited by white Lions. The color of the manes 
are likewise sublet to variation. The Cape Lion has a black mane 
that of the Nubian is generally pale fulvous. In size and expres- 
sion the same variety exists, making it difficult to determine the 
difference between the different species. 

The spotted Hyena (Hyaena crocuta ), three of these animals are 
on exhibition, the one kept separate from the others, is the property 
of Mr. John Robinson. The Hyenas fill an important station in 
the economy of nature. In the hot countries inhabited by the 
hyenas, the decaying carcasses of the larger animals would infect 
the atmosphere with pestilential effluvia, if they were not removed 
by these animals. Their powerful jaws enable them to crush even 
the largest bones, so as to extract from them the nutritious sub¬ 
stance they contain. The Hyenas will seize upon living animals 
but seldom attaek man openly, except in self defense. Their haunts 


27 


by day are dens and caves, gloomy rocks and ruins of towns and 
sepulchral monuments of antiquity. As darkness sets in, these 
beasts emerge from their abode and prowl in search of their prey 
with menacing teeth and glaring eyes. The spotted and the brown 
hyenas are confined to Africa; the striped species is a native of 
Southern and Central Asia. 

The Leopard (Felis pardus), of Africa differs but slightly from 
the Indian Leopard. Agility and power are united in these species 
of the cat tribe. Its appearance is graceful indeed, but in size the 
animal is surpassed by the tiger. 

The Puma orCouguar (Felis concolor ), is the animal often des¬ 
ignated as the American Lion by travelers in South America and 
the western portion of the United States. There are two varieties, 



The Leopard. (Felis pardus.) 


one silvery grey, the same as those at the Garden, the other nearly 
red. 

The Tiger {Felis tigris ), is represented by a pair of these beau¬ 
tiful creatures. Asia is the home of the Tiger, one of the most 
bloodthirsty of all beast. His favorite resorts are large forests in 
neighborhood of streams of water, where he lies in wait for man 
and beasts. In captivity the tiger sometimes submits to training 
and can be taught to perform little tricks, nothwithstanding the 
fact that this animal is much more cruel and audacious in attack, 
than the Lion. 

The Stoat, ( Mustella Erminea ), with fur in summer time much 
like that of the weasel, is often mistaken of the Ferret ( Mustela 
/Wo), which is larger in size, and does not change its color twice a 
year like the Stoat. 

The next Cage contains an American Wild Cat ( Felis rufa), 
presented to the Garden by Mr. D. W. Johnston, Richmond, 


Ind. This animal differs from the European Wild Cat, by 
its shorter tail and the shape of its head, which resembles more 
the head of the Lynx than does the head of the European Wild Cat 
the “Felis ferus.* 1 

This Wild Cat generally inhabits a rocky and wooded Country 
making its home in the hollow of some old tree, from which 
it at night undertakes its marauding journeys. When in danger 
it will make a strong tight for its liberty or life, often wounding 
or killing a number of dogs before it is conquered. 

The Common Genet ( G-enetta vulgaris ), is a very beautiful and 
graceful animal. It inhabits Africa and Southern Europe. The 
color of this animal is grey with dark patches over its entire body. 
It thrives on animal as well as on vegetable food.

g T,nirhn-^ P<>SSUm (D . idelpMs virr J™iana) belonging to the order “Mar- 
supiaha is a voracious and destructive animal. It lives on small 
Quadrupeds, young birds and reptiles, and during the winter often 
finds its way into the poultry yard of the farmer, where fowls and 
their eggs fall victims of its appetite. The Opossum likewise eats 
vegetable substances and various fruits. The southern portion of 
the L nited States may be considered its home.

doer. He is principally used to drive animals which burrow under 
ground, out of their holes. In former years this species of dog was 
trained in France and England to turn spits, and was called, on 
this account “turnspit” in the latter country. 

The Setter Dog. A pair of young setters, donated by Mr. Thos. 
Anderson, of this city, occupy a cage in common with the Badger 
Hounds. 

There are three varieties of Setters.—The English, the Russian 
and the Irish. The Russian setter can be distinguished from the 
other varieties by its extremely long hair and tail. The Irish set¬ 
ter differs from the English, as far as shape of its body and the 
length of its ears are concerned, but little, but its legs are much 
stronger than those of the latter. 

The Leonberg Dog is a cross-breed between the extinct St. Ber¬ 
nard species and the dog of the Pyrenees. It is a large, longhaired 
and powerful animal, and possesses many of the qualities which 
made the St. Bernard dog so famous. 

The naked Mexican or Egyptian Dog the Garden owes to the 
liberality of Mr. Leopold Fais, of Cincinnati. This species is not 
remarkable for anything but the almost total absence of hair on 
its skin, and is valued only as a curiosity. 

The King Charles Dog is represented by one specimen. King 
Charles II., of England, was very fond of these dogs, and had al¬ 
ways a number of them about him, which accounts for the name of 
this dog. The King Charles is very popular as a pet, and esteemed 
especially by the ladies as a lap-dog. 

The Danish Mastiff, one of the most powerful dogs in exist¬ 
ence, is possessed of a great deal of courage. 

The Poodle Dog is represensed by a pair of white and a pair of 
black. The Poodle is considered the most sagacious and obedient 
among all the dog species. 

The Pointer, remarkable for its swiftness, dirived its name 
from its habit of standing still and pointing at any “game it may 
discover. 

The Newfoundland Dog, (donated by Messrs. J. Janson Bros., 
of this city), must be considered the giant of the silken hair spe¬ 
cies. The Newfoundland Dog is the best of the water dogs, and 
can swim for hours in the sea, and swims just as well against-tlie 
current as with it. Hundreds of cases are on record where drown¬ 
ing persons have been saved by the courage and strength of these 
dogs. lie combines good nature, gentleness and gratitude with 
many other excellent qualities.
